NebrasKon attendee's heavily armed costume stirs up some trouble

Conventions bring with them plenty of detailed costumes, a great deal of which involves cosplayers armed to the teeth with fake weaponry. That's all well and good, but just remember that getting decked out like a Resident Evil character loaded with enough armaments to take down a hundred Lickers could cause a stir similar to what happened in Omaha, Nebraska during Anime NebrasKon.

The con ran this past weekend, and one attendee's Resident Evil getup had cops confusing him for a mass shooter, a fear that was heightened when someone reported the man entering a bank.

The cosplayer in question was Jonathan Menough, who had a 9mm gun strapped to his hip while making a run from the convention to a nearby bank. Naturally, cops approached using high-risk tactics, guns drawn on Menough. They let him go when they found out he was in costume for NebrasKon.
